“I’ve waited a whole year to grow claws like these. Jungle Red!” One of film’s greatest lines belongs to a wronged wife who wins back her man with the aid an aggressive shade of nail polish. First a hit play, then an all-star 1939 movie (and again in 2008), The Women resurfaces here as the musical The Opposite Sex, complete with an all-star cast, lines dipped in acid wit, big production numbers and fabulous ’50s couture in scintillating CinemaScope. June Allyson portrays the betrayed woman. Joan Collins is the siren who steals her husband. And Dolores Gray, Ann Sheridan, Ann Miller, Agnes Moorhead, Charlotte Greenwood and Joan Blondell are assorted gal pals (true blue and envy green) who convince their demure friend to paint her claws – then use them.

This is based on The Women, but the plot has been changed considerably, and you see plenty of men. Some of the plot changes are good, but some are ridiculous. It is also supposed to be a musical, and yes, June Allyson gets to sing maybe two songs, but Dolores Grey is only allowed to sing the theme song over the credits and nothing in the movie! And Ann Miller is never given a change to dance. What the heck?! The costumes are great and all the women have great figures to show off (well, June is looking a bit anorexic...). Ann Sheridan looks particularly lovely, and Joan Collins has a figure to die for in this one. However, my advice? Stick with the original (1936) The Women!
